Answer 1

philosophy is the first knowledge and the final frontier, if we knew how everything in the universe worked we would need philosophy to guide us how we should live.

Answer 2

Beside the Queen, there should be a king. That king should be mathematics.

Proper mathematic can forecast and make the truth. However, you need the philosophy to explain to ordinary people and in their language. Just like a mother explaining the story to a baby.

Answer 3

Carl Friedrich Gauss, known as the "prince of mathematicians", referred to mathematics as "the Queen of the Sciences"

During the High Middle Ages, theology was the ultimate subject at universities, being named "The Queen of the Sciences"

Though I daresay Physics is the KING of all sciences. =)

Answer 4

"Science was born as a result and consequence of philosophy; it cannot survive without a philosophical (particularly epistemological) base. If philosophy perishes, science will be next to go.

"It is not the special sciences that teach man to think; it is philosophy that lays down the epistemological criteria of all special sciences."

Ayn Rand

Philosophy WAS the first science, and metaphysics has always been called the First Science or the Science of Sciences.

The Naturalism that was advanced by the first philosophers who were the pre-Socratics, the Atomists, endured for nearly 1000 years until Augustine, who undercut Naturalism with theism.

Without philosophy, all sciences would perish.

Answer 5

G You are smushing history into a ball of words.

Answer 6

1. Because philosophy (literally, love of  wisdom) was the source of all sciences.

2. Essentially philosophy is the study of questions that don't have answers yet. As coherent answers started to emerge, so did the separate sciences, like physics.

3. What is left in modern philosophy is the stuff that after all this time *still* doesn't have answers - so it is rather a shadow of its former self, and I wouldn't hold out hope of any good answers soon.

Answer 7

It is philosophy with produces the methodology of a science. And when it does the science breaks away to form its own life.

It is the same for all subjects.

I would, myself, not call philosophy the Queen but the mother of all science

Answer 8

Life is akin to a game of chess. A play of tactical manoeuvring, deeply pondered choices, strategic ontological thinking. The Queen is the most powerful character on the board, and spends life protecting the King's honour, who is powerful than She.

The game of Chess ends when the Queen is taken, life ceases or remains an existence without understanding or faith and the protective armour it provides man.
